Hello list,

We have for the past few years been running openafs under lxc on ubuntu
14.04 using bind mounts like this:

lxc.mount.entry =3D /afs /lxc/containers/cafe/rootfs/afs none bind 0 0

I have just patched one of the hosts.  After starting some of the
containers, a few minutes later I get a kernel panic with:

[  494.270238] openafs: Inconsistent file handles within cache

The system then becomes unstable.

I've tried wiping out the cache files in /var/cache/openafs*/*, but that
didn't help.

I've disabled the afs client and started all of the containers and the
system appears stable.

I've also tested afs before starting the containers and it appears to
also be functioning correctly.

I'm running the openafs ppa packages:
 dpkg -l | grep -e openafs
ii  openafs-client                       1.6.21-1~ppa1~ubuntu14.04.1
amd64        AFS distributed filesystem client support
ii  openafs-krb5                         1.6.21-1~ppa1~ubuntu14.04.1
amd64        AFS distributed filesystem Kerberos 5 integration
ii  openafs-modules-dkms                 1.6.21-1~ppa1~ubuntu14.04.1
all          AFS distributed filesystem kernel module DKMS source

And the system is:
lsb_release -a ; uname -r
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release:	14.04
Codename:	trusty
4.4.0-89-generic

Might anyone have any suggestions? =20

Thanks!
Richard
